John Dewey's Teaching Methods in the Discussion on German-Language Kindergartens--A Case of Non-Perception?
Sorensen Criblez, Barbara
Studies in Philosophy and Education, v19 n1-2 p133-140 Mar 2000
During the first half of the 20th century, Emmy Walser of Switzerland helped to incorporate John Dewey's "free working method" into German-language kindergartens. The kindergartens were previously organized around a rigid interpretation of Friedrich Froebel's educational principles, characterized by constant guiding of the child's activities and blind repetition of traditional rules.
